A LONGING FOR PERSONAL HOLINESS
It is easy to guard against the "big" sins, but the little secret sins can creep in sometimes hardly noticed.
🕊️ Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming!
Song of Songs 2:15 NLT
Exaggeration is still lying. God alone knows what a person is really like.
🕊️But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7 NLT
You CANNOT encourage others in the way of holiness if you are not walking in that way yourself.
🕊️I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:14 NLT
✏️ Intro to Homiletics (paraphrased)
----
"I'm living for the world to see nobody but JESUS!"
One day we will all answer to God for the choices we've made in our lives. Jesus will intercede on our behalf. What will He say to plead your case before the Creator? Did you deny Him in this life or did you go before Him with humility and let him write your story?
🕊️My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.
1 John 2:1 NLT
"My story. Your glory"
